COMMENTS FROM RACE DIRECTOR CHRISTIAN PRUDHOMME - STAGE 13:

“The dynamic format of this stage, which takes place entirely in the Ain, will leave little room for doubt. The riders’ legs will certainly have to be sharpened on the climb to the Hauteville-Lompnes plateau, because a major challenge awaits the Tour’s favourites leaving Culoz: they’ll have to put all of their cards on the table for the ascent of the “Bugey pyramid”, which extends for 17.4km at an average gradient of 7.1%” (Tour de France Stage 13).

2023 is the fifth time Col du Grand Colombier has been featured in the TdF since its first appearance in 2012. This is likely the hardest bike climb in the Jura Mountains.

The Tour has featured Grand Colombier in 2012, 2016, 2017, 2020 (Pogacar first to the top) and it will be included in the 2023 Tour.

2020 Tour winner Tadej Pogacar won Stage 15 of the 2020 Tour by four seconds over tour leader Primož Roglic, but was still 40 seconds behind, in second place.  It wasn’t until four stages later that Pogacar sealed his legend in Tour lore by destroying the field on La Planche des Belles Filles in an individual time trial where he gained the yellow jersey and ultimately won the 2020 TdF.
